DQOs are the basis for designing data collection activities and they specify the data type, <br /> quality, quantity, and uses needed to make decisions. The data collection activities presented in the RAW <br /> have been designed using the DQOs, discussed in the following sections. <br /> 4.1 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVE PROCESS <br /> The project DQOs have been determined based on USEPA's seven-step DQO process (USEPA, 1994a) <br /> and have been developed specifically for the planned sampling and analysis program. The Project <br /> Manager will evaluate the project DQOs to determine if the quantitative and qualitative needs of the <br /> sampling and analysis program have been met. The project-specific definitions associated with each step <br /> of the DQO process are described below: <br /> CONDOR <br />
